The book seems to be discussed, or at least mentioned, in a number of papers I'd have to pay to read, or that are in Italian (a language I'm unfortunately unable to read), or both. Just two examples:

The Swedish poet and playwrught Lars Norén read the book soon after it appeared and has cited it many times, in interviews and directly in his poems, as little short of a revelation, due to the power and starkness of its images. He had spent several months in a mental hospital (a less brutal one) when he was about twenty. and the conditions and problems of the mentally ill is a key theme in his writing, but he is probably just one of many writers amd artists in the 1970s and 80s who were firmly influenced by the book. 83.254.148.77 (talk) 23:19, 21 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
